Jesse Butler

Jesse Butler (died 1868) was a member of the Blighters gang.

Biography
Jesse Butler was born to a newly-rich family in Lambeth, London, and after his parents died he believed that it was up to him to continue their legacy by controlling Lambeth. He joined the Blighters and illegally taxed merchants, vendors, and landowners, and his extortion led to the Metropolitan Police Service posting a bounty on him. Jacob Frye tracked him down, and Butler tried to escape on a wagon; he was killed when it was rammed off the road. His body was taken to Sergeant Frederick Abberline, who gave Frye 264 pounds.
